Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti thanked Congress for considering a resolution supporting America’s bid to host the 2024 summer Olympic and Paralympic games in Los Angeles.
The City of Angels hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984.
The host of the 2024 summer Olympics games will be announced at the 130th international Olympic Committee Session on Sept. 13, 2017. If Los Angeles is elected to host the games, it will be the first time in 28 years that the summer Olympics will be held in the United States.
